I used Prestel way back in the 1987 or so. It felt a lot more like Teletext/Ceefax, with basic blocky graphics. I didn't get a chance to use the chat rooms or interactive side of it much.

At this point in time, like the early/mid nineties internet, it was quite nerdy and relatively few normies had infiltrated it. I also remember it being free of advertising and scammers.
